After two days off, Lu Tian returned to work at a newspaper group owned by a media company called Urban Life.

The main body of the newspaper reports some news, entertainment, stories, literature, art, tourism, food and other popular contents in the city, mainly to win profits by pulling huge advertisements.

Lu Tian was in charge of the "Urban People" column, so he had to interview some typical characters every week as the subject of his writing.

The characters can be big or small, from mayors, bureau chiefs, art celebrities from all walks of life, to taxi drivers, vegetable vendors, sanitation workers and other small people in the market, in short, he will not let go of typical and interesting characters.

As soon as he got to work, he received a phone call that said that there was a farmer in the suburbs of the city, who had studied ancient characters behind closed doors for more than 20 years, and had actually studied the method of deciphering oracle bone inscriptions, and an academic paper was published in an important domestic journal and was recognized by experts.

The person who reported the phone spoke a little impatiently, chattering endlessly, and sometimes stammering, so that Lu Tian had no clue when he heard it.

However, this is a news figure, a good news story that must not be missed, and if the interview goes well and the story makes the headlines on the website, it is a considerable income.

In addition to writing for "Urban Life Daily", Lu Tian also contributes articles to many websites part-time, which can be described as a good errand that kills two birds with one stone.

According to the address provided by the whistleblower, Lu Tian took a bus to a residential area of a small bungalow on the outskirts of the city, and the whistleblower told him that this person's name was Li Yun, and his family lived at No. 54 Minmin Road in the eastern suburbs.

Entering along an alley, he stood in front of an ancient courtyard of red bricks and blue tiles, with a large black lacquered iron gate with a door number inlaid with the words No. 54 Minmin Road.

That's right! It's here.

Lu Tian looked in through the crack in the door, the courtyard was empty, and there was no one in sight, but he seemed to smell a breath from the writing of ancient humans from inside.

"Dangdangdang......" Lu Tian knocked on the black iron door with the protruding tip of the phalanges on the back of his hand.

"Who?" An indistinguishable voice came from the courtyard, and the speaker seemed to have a piece of candy in his mouth, and his voice was indistinct.

"It's me, Lu Tian, a reporter from Urban Life Daily, and we have made an appointment to interview you." Lu Tian concluded that the person who spoke must be Li Yun, the oracle bone expert mentioned by the whistleblower.

The door "squeaked" open, and it was really Li Yun who opened the door, he was not tall, with a round body, a fat head resting on his shoulders, and he couldn't see his neck at all, his eyes narrowed into a slit, looking at the comer.

"Are you ......," Li Yun asked expressionlessly.

Strange people must have geniuses! Lu Tian thought to himself.

"Hello! I'm newspaper reporter Lu Tian! Lu Tian introduced himself in his heart and greeted with a smile.

He passed his hand over and took a chubby, tender hand full of fine skin and tender flesh. Lu Tian summed up in his heart, this hand did not look like it came from the hand of a peasant brother at all.

"Inside, please." Li Yun spoke like a fish spitting bubbles, fast and muddy, but his enthusiasm was still from the heart, and the smile was piled on the red and swollen chin, and the jaw trembled word by word, agitating like a bullfrog.

Li Yun invited Lu Tian into two side rooms, which were his study and bedroom, there was a small kang in the room, which occupied most of the space in the room, and there was an old bookcase at the door, which was full of old books of different sizes, thin and thick, these books did not look like they were bought from a bookstore, but they seemed to be bought from a used book market.

Lu Tian explained his intentions, and Li Yun also began to talk about his experience.

Originally, I was a farmer, and after graduating from high school, I didn't go to university, so I went back to the village to work as a farmer.

In addition to work, I fell in love with ancient characters, and I heard that there were more than 5,000 words in the oracle bone inscription after it was unearthed, and only 1,500 words were deciphered, which made me even more interested in deciphering the oracle bone inscription.

I began to read a lot of classical books on oracle bone inscriptions, and if I couldn't find anything in the city library, I went to the provincial library to find it, and in order to take notes, I stayed in the library for several days, copying dozens of thick reading notes.

In just a few years, I have familiarized myself with many monographs such as "A Review of Yinxu Divination" and "The Great Series of Fortnightly Golden Inscriptions", which has made my understanding of oracle bone inscriptions more in-depth and understanding.

Li Yun told Lu Tian about the knowledge of oracle bone inscriptions, and at the same time used his hands to make gestures. Lu Tian heard it in a fog, his face was confused, and out of the needs of the journalist's profession, he still took a notebook and wrote down some useful things.

Li Yun seemed desperate to become a celebrity in the academic world, and he told Lu Tian that he must write magically and achieve a sensational effect.

After the interview, Lu Tian got up to say goodbye, Li Yun casually took out a piece of writing and gave it to Lu Tian, the words were written in oracle bone script, and Li Yun also explained the meaning of the words to Lu Tian.

"A poetic waterfall, an April day in the ancient world."

Lu Tian looked at these crooked and twisted figlyphic words, but none of them were known to him, and he sighed at the superb imagination of the ancients.

When leaving, Lu Tian took a photo of Li Yun and used it as an interview page, and Li Yun also took a photo with himself as a souvenir.

Lu Tian shook hands with Li Yun again and said goodbye, and when he walked out of this quaint courtyard, he saw Li Yun standing at the door and watching him far, far away, as if he had bet his life on Lu Tian.
